"I Can" E-mail Discussion Group Update
"I Can" -- the International Communicators in Ag Network message group
has grown to more than 200 worldwide participants from 15 countries. This
growth has taken place in the year since Warren E. Clark, president of
Clark Consulting International, Inc., West Dundee, Ill., founded the
group. The Ag Communicators in Education (ACE) provide the computer
support for maintaining the list through a contract with Purdue
University. Clark serves as an informal on-line host, stimulating e-mail
discussion among participants.
"I Can" subscribers include members of the International Federation of
Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ), American Agricultural Editors
Association (AAEA), National Association of Agricultural Journalists
(NAAJ), National Association of Farm Broadcasters (NAFB), Ag
Communicators in Education (ACE), National Agri Marketing Association
(NAMA) and the Ag Communicators of Tomorrow (ACT).
New in 1996 is the addition of monthly discussion topics, though any
message of interest to ag communicators is welcome at any time. The value
of internships was discussed in February. "I Can" subscribers requested
a periodic update on job openings, freelance assignment opportunities and
internships available be issued. Ag communicators with contributions may
send them to Clark via e-mail at: ag-pr@agpr.com. Those without Internet
e-mail connections may still have this type of material posted by faxing
it to Clark at +1-847-836-5140.
